Did you receive something for Christmas that you just can't use? Did you overbuy and lose the receipt? Do you have "Orphan Christmas Gifts" sitting on your counter? Sister Christina at the Martin dePorres Learning Center in Paterson uses an earned ticket reward system to motivate the children to be responsible students and helping Christians. The kids are rewarded with tickets when they are caught doing a good deed, improving their grades, and working hard. They are then able to use the tickets to purchase" items from Sister Christina's gift room to give to family members for family birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas and Mothers' or Fathers' Day. Please consider donating your orphaned gifts. There will be a bin in the Narthex marked "Learning Center Gifts" through February 5. Thank you so much for your continued support. Questions?
